@wdlindsy The claim that 1 in 6 German Lutheran Pastors were part of the Confessing Church recognizes that 5 in 6 were not. Part of my experience is a sense of residual guilt over Lutheran complicity in the Holocaust. I've read several bibliographies of Bonhoeffer, but not yet Marsh's. I'll add it to the list. Let me counter with a recommendation of “Bonhoeffer's Black Jesus," which deals with his year in the US, and his embrace of the Black Church here during that year. It's timely.

@wdlindsy Note that “German Evangelical Church" in this context means German Lutheran, not Evangelical in the American sense. Roughly 1 in 6 German Lutheran pastors were part of the Confessing Church, rejecting Nazification. Of these, roughly 1 in 4 were arrested in 1935 (per Wiki article on the Confessing Church). I hope we'll do better this time.
